丹酚酸A的研究与进展

Research progress of salvianolic acid A

丹酚酸A是常用中药丹参中的水溶性成分,近年来关于其化学研究、药理活性、药代动力学研究均取得了重要进展。丹酚酸A化学研究表明其分析测定方法多采用高效液相色谱法,提取分离工艺不断改进,得率和纯度都得到较大的提高。丹酚酸A药理研究发现其具有广泛的药理活性,包括抗氧化、心肌缺血保护、抗血栓、神经保护、抗肝纤维化、防治糖尿病及并发症等多个方面,为丹酚酸A的临床应用提供了丰富的研究资料。丹酚酸A的药代动力学研究近年也受到重视,针对动力学参数、吸收分布、代谢途径等展开了大量研究,初步药代动力学特征已得到阐明。为了更好地对丹酚酸A的研究开发提供参考,本文基于本实验室的研究工作和前期研究的文献资料,综述了近10年丹酚酸A的化学、药理和药代动力学等方面的研究进展,并对丹酚酸A研究的发展方向作了展望。

Salvianolic acid A is a water-soluble component from Danshen, which is frequently used in traditional Chinese med- icine. High performance liquid chromatography was often used to analyze content of salvianolic acid A. The yield of salvianolic acid A increased by the technological improvement of extraction and separation. Salvianolic acid A possessed multiple pharmacological activi- ties, including antioxidants, myocardial ischemic protection, antithrombatic, neuroprotection, anti fibrosis, prevention of diabetes and complications. Recently, preliminary pharmacokinetics characteristics of salvianolic acid A were clarified. Based on the research literature and study work from author＇s laboratory, this review will focus on recent developments concerning the chemistry, pharmacology and pharmacokinetic of salvianolic acid A, and prospect further research.
